Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (227 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (about 30 grams) fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup (about 60 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup (about 15 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust based on taste)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • Optional: Fresh herbs (like dill or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 4 ounces of crumbled feta cheese. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to blend them together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Avoid overmixing, as you want to retain some texture from the feta.
  2. Add 1 cup of finely chopped fresh spinach, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the bowl. Mix until everything is evenly distributed, taking care not to crush the spinach too much, which can lead to a watery filling.
  3. Take 4 large flour tortillas and lay them flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous portion of the spinach and cheese mixture evenly onto each tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space at the edges to prevent overflow when rolling. Use the back of a spoon for an even spread.
  4. Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla up, ensuring the filling stays enclosed. You can use your fingers to tuck in the filling as you roll. Avoid rolling too loosely, as this can cause the filling to spill out during cooking.
  5. At this point, you can either serve the roll ups as is or cut them into bite-sized pieces for easier snacking. If you prefer them warm, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the roll ups seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs like dill or parsley before serving. Cut into slices if you haven’t already and enjoy your flavorful Spinach and Feta Cream Cheese Roll Ups!

Keywords: Using room temperature cream cheese is crucial for achieving a smooth, spreadable filling. If you're using frozen spinach, make sure to thoroughly drain and squeeze out excess water to avoid sogginess.
